Welcome to my contributor Betsy from BMoore Healthy as she shares her recipe for Simple, One-Pan Sausage & Cabbage.
Hi, I’m Betsy and I am excited to share with you a recipe that I make pretty much every week. Yes, pretty much every week because my family and I never seem to get sick of it and it is easy as heck to make. That, my friends, makes a winning recipe! Plus, this meal gets my kids eating a bunch of cabbage so that is a win also.
Sometimes, I even double this recipe to have leftovers for breakfast. Yes, I said breakfast. Right now, I am kinda obsessed with sausage and cabbage bowls with an egg on top. There is something pretty magical about it. You gotta try it. It’s funny – a few years ago, I would have laughed at the idea of eating this kind of food for breakfast. Now, it is what works for my body and that is winning.
- 1 package chicken sausage (I love Al Fresco brand), cut into chunks
- 1 bag of cole slaw mix (just chopped cabbage and carrots in a bag!)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- sriracha sauce or parmesan cheese, if desired
- serve over rice or pasta, if desired
- Brown chicken sausage in 1 tablespoon oil until brown. Flip after a couple minutes and brown other side. When done, transfer to a plate.
- Heat remaining tablespoon of oil and add veggies and sauté until soft.
- Add chicken sausage back to pan.
- Serve over pasta or rice, if desired, or just eat by itself! Top with sriracha or parmesan cheese if desired.
There really is no one way to make this dish. Sometimes, I even add a bag of frozen mixed veggies to incorporate some peas, broccoli, cauliflower – really anything. This meal is also a great way to use up extra veggies that need to get out of your fridge. Get creative. Oh, also try these recipes: Horseradish Kale Salmon Patties, Rainbow Veggie Cauliflower “Rice,” and Veggie Lover’s Polenta Pizza.
I always try to have some kind of protein in every dinner. This way, I can call it a meal. Chicken sausage is one of those proteins that the kids love so I go with it.
Don’t be afraid of subbing cabbage for your pasta and rice. I have been trying to watch my carb intake and I really don’t even miss the starches. Cabbage is a rockstar veggie and it is cheap to buy which is an added bonus. Be sure and come visit me on Facebook, Instagram or Pinterest for more recipes and healthy ideas! Keep in touch. Thanks to Emily for letting me share this recipe with you all.
This sounds so tasty and like a great way to trick my daughter into eating some cabbage…because she loves sausage!
